They did, however have something to say about healthcare, the economy, the bailout, the War in Iraq and our relations with Pakistan.

Many people criticized the “town hall” format of the debate. Personally, I found it distracting and I think that rather than giving the debate a more informal and personal feel, it caused confusion, odd camera angles and a loss of substantive answers from the candidates.

But again, there no mainstream media is discussing the gaping hole that was left by no mention of immigration. So far all I can find on it is this post at VivirLatino, which covered the last presidential debate and its lacked of what they call “the I word”.
Did any of you send questions in for the debate? If so, were any of them about immigration?

I would be interested to see how many questions they received on the topic that were then ignored.
